| User | Comment |
|---|---|
| katybo | I think BVPS should be 4.08. P/BV is normally a trailing ratio and 2005 is an estimation... |
| MasterD | If you used 4.08 then you would use the Ave ROE not including 2005's 10.8% |
| bbadger | Excluding 2005 estimates, Mean ROE = 21.4666%, times 4.08 = 0.87584 EPS |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
